Commercial & Industrial Ventilation: Tailored Solutions for Food Production, Manufacturing, and More
Effective ventilation is essential for maintaining air quality, safety, and productivity in industrial and commercial spaces. Whether you’re working in food production, plastic moulding, or a general manufacturing facility, tailored ventilation systems help meet health and safety standards, improve comfort for employees, and increase operational efficiency.
At Inergy Group, we specialise in designing and installing custom ventilation solutions that meet the unique needs of your business. Let’s look at how we can improve air quality in your facility and discuss what factors influence the cost of installing a ventilation system.
Why is Ventilation Important in Industrial and Commercial Environments?
Good ventilation is essential for a safe and comfortable environment. Industrial processes often produce airborne contaminants like fumes, dust, and vapours, which can pose health risks to workers. Without proper ventilation, these contaminants can build up and affect air quality, making the work environment uncomfortable and potentially harmful.
Ventilation systems also help control temperature, humidity, and air flow. These systems are designed to bring in fresh, clean air while removing stale air. In workplaces with high heat output, such as food production or manufacturing, ventilation helps keep temperatures comfortable for staff, reducing the risk of heat stress.
Tailored Ventilation Solutions for Every Industry
Whether you’re running a food production facility or managing a manufacturing plant, our solutions are designed to meet the unique needs of your space.
Food Production Ventilation:
In food production environments like bakeries, frozen pizza manufacturing, or large fryers, maintaining good air quality is essential. Our systems are designed to remove moisture, heat, and fumes, ensuring a safe and comfortable space that meets hygiene and safety standards.
We recently helped a food manufacturing facility improve its air quality by installing a tailored system that meets both operational and regulatory needs.
Plastic Moulding and Packaging:
Plastic moulding companies often face challenges with fumes and dust, which are common in their processes. Our Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems capture these contaminants at the source, keeping the air clean and protecting employees from harmful exposure.
We’ve designed a similar system for a plastics packaging manufacturer, helping them improve air quality and comply with industry standards.
General Manufacturing and Industrial Spaces:
Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and industrial spaces produce heat, dust, and airborne pollutants that need to be effectively managed. Our systems are designed to keep the air clean while ensuring that employees stay comfortable and healthy.
We’ve helped many businesses with tailored HVAC solutions to improve ventilation and air quality across different industries.

Understanding the Costs of Ventilation Systems
The cost of installing an industrial or commercial ventilation system depends on several factors, such as the size of your facility, the complexity of the system, and the specific requirements of your environment. Here are some general cost ranges to give you an idea:
-
Small to Medium-Sized Businesses: For smaller installations in facilities like small manufacturing plants or retail spaces, you could expect to pay between £5,000 and £10,000 for a basic system that includes ducting, extraction fans, and basic HVAC controls.
-
Larger Industrial Facilities: For larger industrial operations like food production or plastics manufacturing, the cost can range from £15,000 to £40,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the system, the need for specialised extraction systems (such as LEV), and the scale of the building.
-
Retrofitting Existing Systems: If you’re upgrading or retrofitting an existing system, costs can vary widely depending on the scope of the upgrade. For example, adding features like heat recovery or advanced controls could cost anywhere from £10,000 to £30,000.
Factors that affect these prices include the complexity of the ducting layout, whether the system is integrated with existing HVAC systems, and any additional requirements such as air quality monitoring or compliance with specific industry regulations.
